-LRB- CNN -RRB- -- Alleged Boston crime boss James `` Whitey '' Bulger may have authored two memoirs , one of which was titled `` My Life in the Irish Mafia , '' according to court documents .

It is not clear whether the notorious fugitive , who evaded authorities for 16 years , actually wrote the memoir , but prosecutors say it is part of their investigation .

The manuscript was seized at a South Boston home on January 5 , 1995 , the same day a warrant was issued for Bulger 's arrest on racketeering charges .

The alleged gangster also apparently penned a separate autobiography that was found by authorities at Bulger 's Santa Monica , California , apartment after his arrest there , courts documents say .

Bulger , 82 , has pleaded not guilty to all charges against him , including 19 murder counts .

Once one of the FBI 's 10 most wanted fugitives , he is currently being held without bail and faces an impending racketeering indictment after authorities tracked him down in June 2011 at his California home .

Bulger was arrested after being lured out of his apartment with an FBI ruse : He apparently received a phone call and was told his lock box , located in the basement parking lot of his building , had been broken into . When Bulger went down to check , FBI agents arrested him .

His alleged barbarity as an Irish-American mobster in Boston inspired the Jack Nicholson character in Martin Scorsese 's 2006 film `` The Departed . ''
